“He who doesn't pray to the Lord prays to the devil”
— Pope Francis
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that if you are not focusing on good, you might be drawn toward bad. Imagine you have two paths in life, one leading to good behaviors and one leading to bad behaviors. When you are not making an effort to follow the good path, you might end up on the bad path without realizing it. For example, if you spend your time with friends who are always kind, helpful, and honest, you are more likely to act the same way. However, if you spend time with people who lie, cheat, or hurt others, you might start picking up those bad habits. It encourages us to stay conscious of our actions and choose positive influences, helping us live better lives. In everyday life, think about choosing to study hard instead of copying homework. By focusing on doing the right thing, you avoid slipping into negative behaviors. So, always aim to stay on the right path by surrounding yourself with positive influences and making good choices.
